You know how these funny ascents make words sound. 'Deed I do! I wasn't looking for an actual answer--I mean, it HAD to be tails! {Note: see OP emoticon.} I just wanted to see what kind of jokes/defense/comebacks y'all'd have. (Speaking of accents!) BUT.....what about Lukes post  seems tiles might be the real thing! They are for people who want lobster and don't want to deal with the shell. They have the regular "chain" menu, and a special monthly insert for this restaurant only. A person can order various combos: scallops/shrimp; lobster/scallops; shrimp/scallops; etc. And they call them "tiles": its right there in the print. And out here in the flooded Missouri River basis the closest we get to Australian accent is Crocodile Dundee.

Some of those lobsters on Google Images are quite large.
The tiles would be of significant size. But shrimp tiles?
Too much work for the price.

You got some documentation for this? I can't find anything on the web for 'lobster tiles' except the sort of tile you might use to cover the wall in your shower.

Jackie, was this an ad for The Outback Steakhouse? he is saying lobster tails. and they are showing pictures of lobster tails. nothing more than a strong accent.
if there is some other restaurant that calls them tiles, they are just totally confused, or thinking that they're very clever...

Yes, their menu is available online and lists tails, with nary a tile.
